Maths and rain, ag shame

It’s been rainy today – rain, rain, rain. The only time I went outside was to hang up the washing. The boys got as far as looking outside. I let them watch a video in the afternoon, because it was so rainy. School was okay today, despite the boys reassuring me that they really do hate school, and can’t we just skip the maths, and why must we have school? Actually maths took quite a long time this morning because we’re started learning about halves, and “half past” in time telling. So I had to explain it. At the same time, we’ve also jumped into subtraction, so that also needed a bit of extra work.
